Big Little Sheep head


I still haven’t figured out a way to stop catching these sheep head. At least this one wasn’t a tiny one. He was a little bit bigger then a little one.

Clean Slimy Suckers head


I caught this Sucker or carp of some kind With a worm on the bottom. The suckers head was pretty slimy and left a stinky film on the pier where i took a pic and removed the hook from it. I really don’t mind catching them even with the stinky slime they create. They usually put up a fight and are a little too heavy to lift out of the water without getting your hands wet.

Stinky Head


Just another Stinky SheepHead. So many of these I dont know what to write about them. Guess i will have to try and remember more details when i catch them. Either that or just stop taking pictures of them. I think i need to research a bait that sheep head dont like and other fish do.

Sheephead Trash Fish



Sheephead are called “trash fish” for a reason, they aren’t for eating. The only thing i have heard good about them is to put them into a grinder and freeze them and tie the frozen bad of ground up sheep head to a boat or pier as chum.

Fast Swimming Striper


This Striper or whitebass took off fast swimming down streem when i set the hook. For a smaller fish they put up a pretty good fight. Expecially if you use a lighter action rod. This one was caught using a yellow mister twister. I have had alot of luck with that color.

Another Sheephead Swallowed The Hook


Just another picture of a sheephead that swallowed the hook. I snipped the line off as close to its lips. I think the hook will come out naturally. I will have to be buying some more hooks if these sheep head dont stop biting.

Sheep Head Swallowed The Hook


Another Sheep Head. They are hard not to catch. The worst part is they keep swallowing the hooks so every time they do they waste my time having to retie my hooks.

The best part in this picture is the water.

Austin Happy Close Up


Austin sure was chipper in these snapshots. I think he enjoyed spending the day playing with the neighbor girls.

Austin Off The Bus


On Thursdays Austin gets off the school bus here instead of at home. He was so excited to show off his sticker that he got at school that day. I think this picture really captured the energy and bounce in his step. As soon as he was done showing the sticker off he stuck it on his shirt.

With A Yellow Green Twister


I caught this small mouth bass casting a yellow and Green Twister with a light yellow head. it hit almost as soon as the lure hit the water I must have cast right on top of its head.  Its a lot of line out and have to reel any fish a long way in.

I always fun catching them this way.
